The General Assembly vote, which will be broadcast live around the globe, is expected to be an unprecedented achievement for the PA and Abbas. In contrast, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman and Defense Minister Ehud Barak are said to understand that the Palestinian victory at the United Nations means an Israeli defeat and a personal defeat for each of them.

The significance of the outcome has not been lost on Jerusalem. While the ruling party in Israel is moving to the right, the international community, including Israel's friends, is moving to the left. They are no longer willing to accept Israel's occupation of the West Bank.

No Israeli leader wants this failure to stick to him. Netanyahu has released no official statement on the matter. Lieberman and Barak, who, ironically, will be in New York today on their way to the Saban Forum in Washington, will duck the cameras. Lieberman prefers not to speak to the General Assembly and has left it to UN ambassador Ron Prosor to face the music alone.

because it's historic and will change everything.

Quoting: pink cat

ya, the first thing that will change is the fakestinians can kiss the West Bank GOODBYE! If the fakestinians are going to bypass direct negotiations with Israel to make a unilateral land grab, the Israelis will have NO CHOICE but to take unilateral actions of their own and begin annexing as much of the West Bank as they can as fast as they can.

Israhell can't annex the W/B...it means the apartheid wall has to be torn down: and give the "terrorist Palestinians" using Israhell description citizenship. What will happen is a phony agreement of statehood for the Palestinians leaving Israhell with the keys of ports of entry into the W/B.

If anything this will be a symbolic gesture by the anti-christ, to form a fake union with the Arabs, in order to begin building the third-temple.

Construction on that has already begun.

Does the Third Temple have to be on the Temple mount to make it Legit?

My idea of Third Temple is a little different than most.

I think Israel should wait before razing that abomination of conquest, the Al-Aqsa mosque.... not just to avoid the ire of 1.6 billion crazies all over the world

but also because no matter how beautiful and divinely-destined the 3rd Temple is, it will NEVER be as beautiful as the one that is in (Jewish) people's hearts & imaginations through-out 2,000 years of exile and return.

I think the HOPE is the biggest thing a human being can have. So while Jews HOPE for re-built of 3rd Temple and eventually for Moshiah's return.... they should continue to be AWESOME -- to be educated, to build, construct, invent and otherwise bring light upon nations & improve the human condition all over the world. That's the idea anyway, doesn't always happen like that in the messy "real-world".

That's the biggest difference between (real, true) Judaism and totalitarian mega-cults like Islam: Islam tries to make their conquered places of worship as LAVISH and GARISH as possible --- while Jews build relatively modest synagogues precisely because the REAL kingdom of God is not in a building but in the MIND & HEART of a person, in the person's soul & divenly-inspired imagination.

Which is why Jews are smart -- because their very religion & faith is constructed in such a way as to encourage DEEP thinking and constant questioning and creativity.

The way shills & cluless fan-boyz mistakenly throw around the word "Apartheid".....has become the new Godwin's Law. It absolutely kills their credibility or any possiblity of a constructive discussion. Just like the gratuitous use of the word "raciss" by the PC provocateurs, has not only made mockery of REAL victims of racism in the past, but it has rendered the word pretty meaningless. Such fools.

And yes, Israel CAN annex West Bank --- all it needs to do is annex the so-called "Area C" and most of "Area B" --> which comprise 75% of West Bank but aere almost exclusively populated by Jews.... and Palestinians are left with only "Area A" which is 95% Arab as it is.

In other words, there is NO apartheid -- just ask the 1.5 million Israel-Arabs who not only receive full rights in Israel but who also don't have to serve in the Israel Army if they don't want to (unlike Jewish Israelis for whom it's mandatory).

So Pally's will be damned if they do and damned if they don't get this state?

Damned if they do, for the aforementioned reasons and damned if they don't... because if they don't get something they want, they will likely get violent and angry and create problems like a misbehaving self-obsessed child throwing a tantrum?
